Michael C. Ford is the first poet to record at the Hen House. He has recited his poems with music accompaniment on two different projects thus far. This has John Densmore, of the Doors, drumming while Ford reads a poem about the history of the American drummer. Ford often draws from history and politics and his work was recognized in 1998 when he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and in 1986 when he was nominated for a Grammy.
